I have run into several Bitcoin "newbies" over the last couple of months, that are spreading the wrong information on forums and/or in person. Their intentions is good, but the results is bad, because they did not do proper research.
Some of these people are selling themselves as experts, because they have been in the scene for a few months. I have been in the scene for years and I still know very little about EVERY aspect of this technology.
I think you should rather admit it, when you do not know something about the technology, than selling your little knowledge as facts. I will regularly tell people that I am not clued up with
every aspect of this technology, but I always try to do proper research, when I encounter something that I am not 100% clued up on.
~ Ask, if you not sure.
~ Do not lie, if you are unsure.
~ Do proper research, before you educate other people.
~ Accept that you will not know it all.
~ Fact check what you already know.
~ Do not argue, if you not sure about your facts.
Let's agree that we all learn something new about this great technology almost every day, so only a small amount of us are experts.

Sometimes the newbies can make mistakes but some of them learned very well. Because not all newbies are stupid. We are all came from newbies the same with them. So I do believed that some newbies are learned to be wise and clever because of their mistakes.
